Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "The Birth of Magellan: Cadenza I" is a fairly late effort from the career of American experimental filmmaker Hollis Frampton and once again he pays tribute to the era of silent film in his usual clumsy manner. I cannot say that this 5.5-minute film here seemed memorable to me for whatever reason. It looks as if a young filmmaker is still trying to find his style, but actually the opposite is true. But then again, it is probably not among the very worst Frampton has done, but that is just because his lows were as low as it gets. As for this one here, it lacked creativity to me and I did not find it inspired. Thumbs down.
